Study abroad scholarship
Master's scholarships awarded by individual Finnish universities, usually combining a tuition discount with a living allowance. Some programmes require a separate application alongside the admission file.
Finland — A 50–100% tuition discount, with 5,000–10,000 euros of living support on some programmes
Master awards from Finnish universities for English-taught programmes, usually a partial tuition waiver plus a living allowance at some universities.
As with bachelor entry, the file goes in during the January joint round and the award is assessed at the same time.
What the fund pays for. Exact amounts can change each round — check against the announcement for the open round.
Conditions published by the fund. Missing any one of these usually means rejection at the procedural stage, before the file reaches the selection panel.
A bachelor degree in the field the master programme requires; many programmes also assess the courses completed.
Apply in the January round, on the same calendar as bachelor entry.
Meet the programme English threshold, usually one step above bachelor entry.
The documents usually required. Each round has its own official list published by the fund, so check again before submitting.
The language threshold is the first eligibility gate — the certificate must be valid at the time of submission. This is the part Wobridge Academy is responsible for and can measure.
Threshold required: IELTS 6.5
Band 0.0 – 4.5
For complete beginners, or anyone rebuilding their English from the ground up before starting exam preparation.
What you study
The four steps below are what the centre does with you. The award decision rests with the fund panel — the centre cannot influence it, and does not promise on their behalf.
Take a placement test to measure the gap between your current level and the language threshold this award requires, then set a study plan around the months left before the deadline.
Follow the plan with regular mock tests so progress stays measurable. This is the part the centre is responsible for.
Read through essays, reference letters and transcript conversions before submission, checked against the document list the fund publishes for the open round.
Submit on time through the fund portal, then record the application number and response milestones. The award decision rests with the fund panel.
Many Finnish programmes assess the courses you completed rather than the degree title, so the course descriptions are the part of the file most worth the effort.
No. The certificate must be valid at the time of submission, and most funds reject incomplete files. Test early so there are enough months left to train.
The centre teaches the language and reviews the file before submission. Essays and reference letters must still be your own — panels recognise ghost-written work quickly.
A few awards for the same countries, to compare before you commit.
Full scholarship · Full award: tuition, a 1,400 euro monthly allowance, travel costs and insurance
A European Union scholarship for joint master's programmes taught across at least two member countries. One application covers the whole consortium rather than each university separately.
Tuition waiver · A 50–100% tuition waiver, sometimes with a first-year living allowance
Most Finnish universities waive 50–100% of tuition for non-EU students who meet the academic criteria. Assessed alongside your admission application in the January joint round, with results announced together with the admission decision.
Book a consultation to measure your current level, compare it against the threshold this award requires, then count backwards from the deadline.
